Description

Spinning Forward is an award-winning and trusted local digital media newsroom and social enterprise. We're all about covering hot topics and issues in the Toronto region and online that matter to aspiring young content creators of color aged 16-34.

Our mission? Keeping you in the loop, sparking conversations, and for Gen Z and Millennial content creators of color in the Greater Toronto Area to succeed both online and IRL (In Real Life). 🌈 We stand for diversity, fairness, inclusivity, and justice for all in real life and across the digital world! 💬🌍 #SpinningForward #DiversityMatters #Empowerment

If interested, learn more and don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter publication at https://spinningforward.com/ and read one of our newsletter issues at https://news.spinningforward.com/ If you have ever wondered what it takes to be a part-time or full-time content creator, please apply and sign up to our newsletter.

Note: We highly value lived experiences and strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t believe you meet every one or more of the qualifications described.

Studies have shown that women, trans, non-binary people, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in a job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization and are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job. That candidate may come from a background less traditional to our field of work, and we welcome the new insight such a candidate would provide.
